17th of November video report from the Demos in Greece and Cyprus

At 17th of November of 1973 the students of the politechical university of Athens and other universities near by , occupied the building to resist against the military fascist dictatorship of the country .

After days of occupation the fascist leaders decide to order a military tank to enter the university and repress the student uprising. More than 80 died in in the entrance of the university and others murdered on the streets. For several days local people from Athens , students and ultra leftist groups have organized the resistance with barricades , riots and big demonstrations. Since then , every year several grassroots and radical groups organize a demonstration.

This year the majority of the participants in Greece and also in Cyprus combined the demo with the demands of the prisoners who are in hunger strike more than 6 days now.
